Royal Mail invests £500m to tackle late deliveries as second-class post cut back Courier promises to meet new delivery targets by next May after being fined last year for poor record

Royal Mail scandal.

2nd-class post will be delivered every other weekday, scrapped on Saturdays.

Company hasn't met any letter delivery targets since privatisation, so regulator reduces targets.

Price won't be reduced for worse service

Promise of £500m investment by ripping off customers.

The lack of contrition from Starmer’s current and former fans is quite something.

We warned over and over again for years that he would be a catastrophe.

You sneered, vilified and ignored those who were entirely correct.

And now you can’t even admit what you got wrong!

Greens ‘have welcomed’ people expelled by Labour for antisemitism, Steve Reed claims Housing secretary also targets Reform as May elections loom, saying Farage more interested in Trump than own constituency

It's widely understood that the vast majority of people expelled on that basis were only guilty of supporting Palestinian rights or of simply being inconveniently left-wing, so if this is the best attack line they can come up with, they're cooked. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Temporary accommodation (TA) linked to deaths of 104 children, 76 under the age of one, in England in 6 years.

135,000 households living in TA, including 176,000 children.

Starmer is not a decent person and this line of thought offends me more then the idea he is actually good politically.

The moral question was long since answered, Starmer wanted people to die of thirst. He is a monster.

Group of Labour MPs proposes new policies to beat rightwing populism Policies include a Swiss-style EU deal, lower electricity prices and reduced dependence on the US

'Sickening': Home Secretary blasted over 'taser and deport Zack Polanski' jibe SHABANA Mahmood has been accused of showing a “sickening indifference” to human life after she joked about tasering and deporting her political…

Mahmood is vile

"Elsewhere ... Mahmood was heckled by a man who said he wanted to "personally thank you for out-reforming Reform", while two other people chanting "refugees welcome" as he was dragged out.

The Home Secretary reportedly replied: "Fuck off, mate."

Reform would review all asylum claims from the last five years The current Labour government has already announced major crackdowns on immigration, including disrupting gangs.

Reform UK pledges review of asylum claims for the last 5 years if it wins the next general election.

400,000, including those legally settled could be deported.

Will people be plucked in streets, sent to concentration camps?

Reform UK’s Richard Tice allegedly failed to pay £100,000 in corporation tax Deputy leader ran shell companies that reportedly did not pay tax on profits from 2020 to 2022, during which time his firm donated £1.1m to party

Reform UK’s Richard Tice allegedly failed to pay £100k corporation tax.

He ran 4 shell companies that reportedly didn't pay tax on profits from 2020 to 2022, when his firm donated £1.1m to party. Also used a trust in Jersey.

Claims tax non-payment was due to an error ... but six years elapsed.

We’re tapping into patriotic old Labour,” he says. “We’re tapping into Brexit-y old Labour. We’re tapping into areas where community still means a huge amount to these people. Where family may be more fractured than it used to be.

“And the commonest thing people will say is, ‘We’ve always been Labour but not any more’ … and these are people, as I say, they’ve been tempted before. Ukip was tempting. The Brexit Party was tempting. Quite a few in 2019 were tempting. But this suddenly feels to me like it’s clicking.”

Starmer promised to restore rectitude to the British government when elected.

So far he has pretty much failed to deliver that in every department. His decisions generally lead to ambiguous perplexity.

Like @zackpolanski.bsky.social says, the least Starmer can do is take responsibility and go.

The original sin of Starmerism is what will now destroy it.

The Labour Party was taken over by a cynical, dishonest faction with no moral compass.

How they operated in the party is how they operated in government.

Starmer was just their convenient frontman.

This has been Starmer's modus operandi since day one.

This is more than just a story about local corruption in Croydon

It highlights just how easy it was to rig the system that was used to select many Labour candidates for the 2024 election

In Croydon they got caught but, given all the complaints about Anonyvoter, did some get away with it elsewhere?

When we were in the Shadow Cabinet together, I said to the Prime Minister about Mandelson: "Distance yourself from this fellow. Don't touch him with a barge pole. He's toxic." 

It's not really good enough to blame the process. This is about judgment.

In two to three years time, when Starmer and his government are no doubt deeply unpopular, I hope we in the media will ask ourselves: "Why were we so supine during the long 2024 election; why didn't we hold Labour properly to account while we could, and ask more probing questions, and explore their records, rather than give them such an easy ride?"

I think we can see the reason for this is the same as any number of abysmal scandals at all kinds of major British institutions: Nobody wants to go lifting rocks because of the very high risk that moving one of them will send a geyser of scalding hot corruption leaping two hundred feet into the air.
